As a physician, I believe that the physician-patient relationship is very important. To foster this relationship, I like to spend time and listen to my patient in order to provide individualized care. My goal is for you to understand what your injury is and everything that goes behind the treatment of it.
I am a primary care sports and spine medicine physician with dual board certification in physiatry (PM&R- physical medicine and rehabilitation) and sports medicine. I provide treatment for all non-surgical musculoskeletal complaints, including ultrasound guided procedures (injections, tenotomy, barbotage, etc.) and biologic injections like platelet rich plasma (PRP). I enjoy taking care of both young athletes and adults with a wide variety of ailments, from fractures to osteoarthritis to concussions. I truly value exercise and sports as a tool for health in patients of all ages.
I have experience taking care of athletes from the high school level all the way up to the pros. I am currently a member of the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine, the American College of Sports Medicine, Academic Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Association of Academic Physiatrists. I have also presented many unique cases at the annual society meetings for these organizations.
I completed medical school at New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in Long Island, NY. After medical school, I completed an internship at Christiana Hospital in Delaware followed by a three-year residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Stony Brook University Hospital in NY. I then completed fellowship training in primary care sports medicine at United Health Services in Binghamton, NY where I held an appointment as an assistant clinical professor at SUNY Upstate Medical University.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball and racquetball. I am an avid NY Giants, Knicks and Yankees fan.
